public comments due tomorrow for OMB Control No. 0596-NEW, titled Management of Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros.
The Forest Service is requesting public comment on a new information collection request, OMB Control No. 0596-NEW, titled Management of Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros. The notice covers five new forms related to purchasing, selecting, maintaining, caring for, inspecting, and transferring title for wild horses and burros removed from National Forest System lands. Comments are due May 26, 2026. Core message: The Forest Service should not treat paperwork as a mere administrative step. These forms must become a real accountability system that protects wild horses and burros from neglect, unsafe placement, resale risk, inadequate facilities, and loss of public transparency.
